Chantelle starts some serious Blogging

30 March 2009

It’s going to seem like I’m late in the game. Starting a blog in 2009 is like ‘getting into’ the New Kids on the Block in 1992.

I’ve filled the better part of a decade with Forums, LiveJournal, Facebook and now Twitter, not to mention writing for other people’s blogs, but still there’s not really a space where I can write about all the Stuff I Have Opinions About – so I’m starting this blog. It’s not that I don’t love my LiveJournal, but after 9 years of writing about my life I just felt that it wasn’t the space I wanted to use for the types of things I’ll write here.

Besides the interwebs have finally become so tightly integrated that I can write here, have it cross-post to LJ, and auto-import to Fbook and I don’t have to worry about anyone missing the really riveting article I’ll write about USB Thumb Drives or whatnot.

Also, I’ve found that tweaking WordPress Templates and fiddling with Plugins and Code is pretty much my most favorite hobby. In addition to reading Google Tech News and testing iPhone Apps. Writing for the iPhone sites the last few years has really opened up some strange quasi-creative outlet in me that I want to spill over into other topics. Now I’ll have a space for that, and I certainly hope that other people find it hilarious or informative.
